What incentive is there to heal an ally over 40%?

Soraka desperately needs changes. I like the spirit of what you've proposed but I don't have any real idea what else to suggest

i would love this sadly riot wants to ignore soraka for as long as they can

Riot has expressed a disdain for healing other champions in league so I don't think this will happen.

At below 40% soraka's ult cleanses grievous wound. That's all she really needs, it gives her a breather to deal with all the gw available. I feel that its a balance buff because the enemy can still easily reapply it back.

Putting more of her power onto her ult would be a good idea but Riot hates Soraka. The only reason they haven't deleted her from the game is because they are still making money from her skins. She is the most hatted enchanter in the game and will likely never see changes before Janna Lulu Sona .

I would avoid changes to ranges and total area of effect.

Soraka is balanced around the idea of being a risky healer, in the sense that she has to expose herself to the enemy when healing.

Her E would become weird, because the opponent would have a difficult time understanding her the actual size of her E. Riot specifically mentioned that they prefer to not have AoE abilities that have variable range of effect (Cass Miasma W has a fixed pattern with fixed range of effect, Xerath and Varus have to charge their abilities to the a maximum range all game long).

For her W bonus effect, I would instead add a small shield or a small Armor/Mr buff. Something like 15/30/45 shield or 5/10/15 bonus Armor and Mr to the healed ally.

For her E, I am not really sure. It does so many things, I fear most bonus effects would either make it overloaded or break it. I personally would try to make landing the second portion of it more rewarding. Something like: "After rooting an opponent, Soraka gains 6/8/10% Movement Speed" or "After an enemy has been rooted, they will afterwards be slowed by 60/75/90% Movement speed for 0.25 seconds".

So her W would help her protect her allies from burst damage while healing the same amount, and her E would help her in kiting/slowing down opponents if she positions it perfectly.

You can't buff Soraka , she's the most hated support with Janna Lulu and Riot's philosophy has always been Aggression > Safety.

Otherwise I'd suggest a passive like the one in the "domination tree" - your ultimate rank lowers the CD of active items by 15-30-45% , so you can use redemption for every small skirmish and teamfight.

That would be absolutely insane though.

Having Soraka sit in the back, for her W radius increasing, would be unhealthy. Everyone knows you have to focus Raka first. If you have to go even deeper into the enemy team, or if she gets Warmogs or something, that's gonna be annoying. I'd honestly rather her be more like Nami. Like the healing is great and stuff, but put more power in her Q and E. Slowing the enemy and silencing them should play a bigger role in her kit. I used to be a huge Soraka player but I had to stop, because if your ADC is doing poorly you're useless. At least Nami can still trap enemies in a bubble, has a knockback, can E herself if need be, can heal herself or hurt enemies, etc.

Soraka can basically just W and I dislike it

easily exploitable though, just make your mid laner play something like xerath and purposedly get down to the threshold by attacking jungle camps and not care about the hp because of the range
